Goodbye, Magnolia

Ready for a modern working woman romance? You'll enjoy Goodbye, Magnolia. Up and coming novelist Krista Noorman delights with the story of Maggie, a photographer who has let her broken heart close her off to love, despite the fact that she's surrounded by it as she takes wedding pictures.

I really enjoyed the progression from enemies to competitors to colleagues to friends to more than friends that developed between Maggie and Simon. I would have loved to have a little more of Simon's thoughts or perspective, but the author still manages to convey his integrity and thoughtfulness.

Goodbye, Magnolia is a sweet story. When the book arrived, my 15 year old daughter made off with it and declared it a good book when she returned it 2 days later. When I got a turn to read it, I had to agree. If you're looking for wholesome with just the right amount of romantic tension, and a great best friends sideline, you'll enjoy this book.
